Forced to Smoke Crack at Gunpoint - Anyone Else Forced to Use Drugs?

[strawberryburns]

I was wondering if anyone else had ever been forced to do drugs against their will as part of their trauma? I was forced to smoke crack at gunpoint once. I had given a ride to a neighbor who claimed he needed to get to a buddies place who owed him money so he could buy diapers and formula for his baby. He was actually going there to SPEND the last of his money on crack. The dealer who lived there wasn't home when we first got there. I end up sitting there with some girl I don't know while my neighbor disappears into the back of the house. The dealer came home and found some strange chic he didn't know in his place and tripped thinking I was a narc. He pulled out a gun and put it inches from my face and told me I was either going to smoke or die. I thought that stuff was going to make my heart explode! I hated it!:mad:

A couple months later I saw the same house on the local news. They had footage of people being led out of the house in handcuffs.

I haven't experienced this, though I am sorry you had to.

I wonder if you have seen the show 'six feet under'? In it, one of the characters gives a ride to a hitchhiker and the hitchhiker does the same thing to him, holds him hostage and essentially tortures him. During it, he makes him smoke crack. I don't know if it would be triggering to watch or worth watching for you. It was a pretty traumatic show, and the subsequent shows were him dealing with obvious PTSD surrounding it.

Well one good thing. Another crack head is off the street. That must have been awful scary. What I want to know is....Didn't the smell in the house kind of give you a clue as to what was going on???? Crack has a very offensive oder. Kind of smells like burning plastic. Once you have smelled it, you know what it is.

Hi strawberry,
I never had this experience but my friend did. She called me crying because the same thing happened to her. She was with a friend and she thought they were going to a house just to drink. The drug dealer wanted to make sure she wasn't a narc so he made her smoke the crack. I think it's just the drug dealer's way of trying to get another person addicted so that they can make more money?????? But who knows.

I'm sorry you had to go through this, I imagine it was horrible to have to worry about being thought of as a threat to the drug dealer, and on top of it smoke a substance that most likely would make a person paranoid in and by itself.

She seems to be over it now, but very aware of whose house she enters.

Take care
Tammy

I had never really been exposed to it before that, had never been in a crack house. There were people passed out in different places but I thought somebody had had a party and they were passed out drunk.

My neighbor at one point had asked me for my keys. He said he had left his soft drink in the car. When I was finally coherent enough to try to think about getting the hell out of there I went to look for my keys and realized I didn't have them, that he hadn't come back with them. I started asking where he was and somebody came in the room and said "Oh him and (whatever the name was) borrowed it to go on a run." I couldn't believe it! He had taken my car without permission and I was stranded there!!!! I was just going to leave, walk out car or no car but that dealer still was sitting across from me with his gun in hand. He told me I wasn't going anywhere till that guy got back and promised he would keep me from going straight to the cops. I was there for hours with this guy watching me like a hawk.

When I finally made it home I was totally out of it. My ex wouldn't let me go to the cops. He said it was likely that there was gang involvement where I had been and that if I went to the cops they would go straight to my neighbor to find out where I lived. So I never reported it.

I was happy to see the house get busted on TV. I stopped all association with that neighbor after that. I've had a lot of crazy stuff happen to me over the years and if nothing else I am wiser for it I guess.

forced drugs

Hiya
Im new here and Im so sorry to hear about what you have been through. My situation wasnt exactly the same. I was spiked with date r**e drugs so at first i wasnt aware about it but later he told me what he had given me and made me drink a lot more. So much so that i overdosed. These people have control issues which is now an issue i have problems with. They think that the only way to feel strong is to control others but its not. They are also scared - for different reasons - police in both of our cases (the drugs gave me amnesia for 12 years). Its put me right off all drugs including meds. I hope you find a way to cope with this hun. Let me know when you do... coz you will... We all will... even if we cant see how. Never give up hope. Gawd i should listen to my own advice lol.

Take care

when I was young, started at three I was given many drugs. I remember one flashback that lasted eight hours, I was in a twilight type sleep, but seeing the whole thing. I saw people walking by me, everything was hazy due to heroine, every once in a while someone would come to give me more, and I gladly gave my arm like a ragdoll.
It was better being in that state of mind while others were screaming and I'm sure being killed, then sitting up and witnessing it.
One of the guys worked in a drug store, so I was pumped with many drugs, it was back in the sixties and an old timer owned the store. He had a door that led outside right where the medicines were, and he left it open all the time. Anyone could walk in and take what they wanted, and did.
But the guy who worked there knew more, since he was learning what the drugs were used for and what they did to the mind and body, ergo, I was an medical experiment alot of the time.
oh well, pass the potatoes please
